Works better than the Intel cooler

It is important to know that I am using an i7 3700 processor which had an average temperature of 59°C. I'm starting a conversion and wanted to stay away from liquid coolers because the liquid and electronics are not compatible. It is possible, but not without risk. In preparation for my restoration, which I'm slowly doing, I bought it as the product I'm going to use with my i9-9900k. When using this cool box with fan, the average temperature dropped to 39°C. But I have to say that I used two fans, not the one that came with it. It does its job well and looks good. I will post a photo for this review soon. I had trouble installing this cooler because my case was too tight, it was a cool $40 Master case. I'm taking my time in my rebuild to upgrade my motherboard, processor and memory as my unit is working but having trouble running multitasking programs. After purchasing a larger case, they are Corsair 570x white, I then had enough room to work on installing this cooler. During installation you get bloody knuckles, you can't do anything about that. And the plastic ends attached to the motherboard may bend, be careful. Great cooler with two fans. I'll skip liquid, but if I'm going to include the I9-9900, if that's not enough, I'll go with the Noctua NH-D15, a premium CPU cooler. And for the price, it was worth trying, testing and then we'll see. Update: When I received my I9-9900k, the plastic that attached it to the motherboard didn't work. I gave it up. I had to buy another noctua nh-d15. Downgraded for this reason. Cheap! You could make it out of stronger plastic or metal. not good.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Clarity
